Jordan Insert (metal Fusion) Question- Raw Review or Full Grade?

[CalvinOnilla]

Hello everyone,

This weekend I had a 98-99 Michael Jordan Titanium Metal Fusion /250 Raw Reviewed by Beckett. It came up with a grade of 9.

I'm now looking to sell the card, and am wondering 2 things

1) What do you think this card could fetch?
2) Should I have it slabbed or sell it with the raw review only, to generate more return? (i.e. How much of a difference in return between the two options?)

Thanks,
Calvin

i would guess it would sell higher getting it slabbed in a bgs hard case.
in my opinion i myself would rather buy a card in a hard case rather a card saver II.

It woould definetly sell for more slabbed than raw review.

dammit... I should have just sent it in then after the raw review at the expo. I've never graded before, mainly because of the thought of shipping my card and losing/damaging it.

I guess the next question is what range of dollars do you think each could potentially bring?

If the difference is not that big, I will not even bother risking making the shipment to get it slabbed.

BGS 9.5 goes for around $3K+
Ungraded goes for $1K+
BGS 9 should go for $2K+

This is assuming that all these sales were not shilled and the payer actually paid, and sales were legit, those are hard things to assume on any high end jordan card.
